The most valuable assets the Warriors could trade us outside of Kuminga is 29/31 unprotected firsts and a 2030 pick swap.

The super swaps in 25/27/29/31 would be awesome. You know what would be even better? Owning those picks outright!

Plus we own swaps in 26/28 already so we’d be increasing the odds of those anyways.

26/28 are swaps with our pick that we own. We trade Lauri and we definitely are *** in 2026... write it off completely. 2028 maybe swaps. 2026 could be late lotto and we don't swap cuz we are bottom 5... that's an L.

Give Washington the worst of our 4 2025 firsts at that point, it would be worth it to get 2029 and 2031 unprotected.

disagree strongly. we are giving up a pick next year so we can get another pick that we can realize the upside of and a swap that has a lot less of a chance of providing value.

The 2025 swap and 2026 unprotected first could also be looked at as lesser assets as well.

K, but we're back to my point that I don't think GSW trades that, certainly not this offseason (where Lauri would be an expiring contract).

If I can defer a 4th rookie (picked in the late 20's) in one draft to a 2nd rookie (picked anywhere, but probably higher than the '25 pick) in the next draft, I take that in a heartbeat.
 
Like if the Warriors pick in 2029 ends up being 15 but Minnesota, Cleveland, and Utah are all *** and in the lotto... are we dying that we don't have the 15th pick. With the swaps positioned in the odd years you actually have a shot at getting real value. Put them in the even years and its like the Pistons getting a swap from the Pelicans this year... super valuable lol.
 
Only reason to unlock the Washington pick imo is to have it be a little cleaner and get the pick if it ends up 21 or higher. I'd still position the actual picks in the even years and swaps in the odd years as I think it creates more value across our pick portfolio. I'd be willing to bet 3/4 of those swaps will have some benefit.

The whole point of unprotected is the upside.

No way lol… we would only do it to unlock the 29/31 picks.

Are we dying if we get WAS to play ball and have the same access to every asset in your scenario + more? All WAS has to have is something better than a top 20 protected pick.

Its not that much more for us and we'd likely try to move things around anyway to not have 4 picks every other year. The consolidation which absolutely will come will create some inefficiency imo. Lining the picks up with 26/28/30 unprotected and swaps in the odd years is my preferred alignment. If you did a random generator I'm sure the points would say super swaps may not smooth out the value. But its not random. If we have worthless swaps in 26/28 but are able to swap the GS upside with picks from teams that are very good... i think you have to factor all that in.

Not really because you’re losing a first in the swap.

You still get the UPSIDE of them being ***. If its top 4 and we swap a pick in the middle of the first no one will care. It will also be the worst of 4 potential picks. You lose nothing just like if our own pick swapped with GS in 26 we didn't lose anything.. we got a boost up the draft board.
 
Don't want to be a Presti truther but they have the ability to swap their pick with the Clips/Rockets this year. One of those teams ends up in the lotto... OKC won't feel cheated just getting the swap. They don't have the roster spots for all their picks. Super swaps are a good thing.

If it's fine to lose picks in super swaps, it's fine to lose the same pick we'd lose in the super swap to keep both sides of UTA/GSW 31.
